You were my sun

You were my earth

But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no

So you took a chance

And made other plans

But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

You don't have to say, what you did,

I already know, I found out from him

Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be

And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me

Why did you leave me, all alone

Now you tell me you need me

When you call me, on the phone

Girl I refuse, you must have me confused

With some other guy

Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn

To cry, cry me a river

Justin Timberlake- Cry Me A River


Tori's POV:

"Ryder? What are you doing in my yard?" I exclaimed.

"Hey Tori." He smiled at me as if he was here to ask me for help with his homework or something.

"What. Are. You. Doing. In. My Yard?!" I snarled.

"Calm down, Vega." He told me. "Just listen to me."

"I don't have to listen to anything you say!" I snapped. "Tell me what you're doing in my backyard holding a gun!"

"I need you to come with me." He stated. "Now."

"Absolutely not." I told him sternly. "Now get the hell off my property!"

"I need you to come with me." He repeated.

"No Ryder!" I shouted. "Now leave!" I heard an inhuman growl accompany my words.

"Tori, they want you and they threatened to kill me if I didn't bring you." He explained.

"Who wants me?" I questioned.

"The Order of Van Helsing." He answered. "The most elite group of monster hunters to ever walk the earth."

"And you're a member of this group, aren't you?" I accused.

"Yeah..." He sighed. "Now get over here." He sprinted forward, and I jumped to the side. Ryder tripped over one of the stairs, and I slammed my foot down on his back.

"Now what are you gonna do?" I snarled, pushing my foot down lower. "Hunter boy?"

I heard the satisfying crack of his ribs breaking as I used all my strength to push down on his back. He took a hold of his shotgun and slammed the butt of the gun into my stomach.

I was thrown backwards onto the grass by the force of the blow, and Ryder stood up, coughing up blood and aimed his shotgun at me. I shot up and dashed towards the trees. I heard the gun go off, and something hit me in the shoulder, making me hit the ground once more. I clutched my injured shoulder, and stuck my finger into my wound, not caring about the pain. I yanked out a single bullet. A silver one.

I dropped the bullet like a hot potato as it burned my hand. I heard Ryder approach me from behind and I crawled away and hid in some bushes. I tried to keep from moving or breathing heavily as he walked near the bush I was laying in.

After I was sure he had walked away, I breathed a sigh of relief, and moved to run back to my house when I heard a voice by my ear.

"Boo."


Sam's POV:

As I got back home, I quickly dismounted my bike, and grabbed my keys, opening the door.

Inside the house, I found the lamp next to the couch on the floor, broken in two, the kitchen counter was covered in blood, and the sliding glass door was shattered. I dropped the groceries on the ground next to the front door and called out for my girlfriend.

"Cat?" I shouted. "Cat!"

"I'm right here." I heard Cat mutter. She came in through the shattered door, the pieces of broken glass crunching beneath her feet.

"What the hell happened?" I demanded.

"Robbie's sort of ex, Gabriella came over." She told me. "She said she wanted help with homework, but after I sat down to help her, she pulled out a knife and attacked me. She had a tattoo of Van Helsing's symbol on her arm."

"Shit." I swore. "A hunter came here?"

"Yeah." Cat nodded. "She tried to stab me, and I moved out of the way. She knocked over the lamp, and chased me into the kitchen. I switched into my siren form and clawed her on her chest. Her blood came spurting out all over the counter like a fountain, and she tried to run away, and I grabbed the knife away from her, and threw her through the glass door. I was gonna kill her, but she punched me in the face and kicked me really hard in the back, and ran away. I couldn't find her. Boo."

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah but I think we should be careful." She told me. "The monster hunters are coming back."


Jade's POV:

"Boo." I whispered into Tori's ear.

The brunette squealed and sprung away from my grip.

I laughed at her frightened expression. "Oh you should see the look on your face." I chuckled.

"Jade!" Tori whined, standing up abruptly. "That was not funny. I thought you were Ryder."

"Ryder Daniels?" I asked in disgust. "Why would you think I was him?"

"He tried to kill me." She said. I raised an eyebrow at her. "He shot me with a silver bullet, and said some stuff about the 'Order of Van Helsing.' Which is apparently a group of monster hunters."

"I know what it is." I informed her. "The organization disbanded a century ago, but was reformed maybe ten years ago. They've had trouble getting back on their feet, but I can assure you that they take monster hunting very seriously."

"Okay, but what do we do about-"

"There you are!" I heard Ryder scream. We turned to look at him. A huge shotgun was slung over his shoulder, and he carried a revolver in one hand, and a crossbow loaded with a wooden stake in the other.

"I knew you'd be here, Jade." He said to me. "That's why I brought this." He held up the crossbow in his left hand. "So after I get Tori, I can land a vampire kill too, if I'm lucky."

"Oh fuck off, Daniels." Tori growled. "First you use me, and now you try to kill me. You really are a loser."

Ryder raised the revolver and cocked it before moving to aiming it at my wolf companion.

"Run." I whispered to Tori. She did, and I followed her. Lucky for us, we were much faster than him.

"See ya later, pretty boy!" I mocked him.

"We'll see about that!" He shrieked.

We continued to run, but I felt something strike me in the shoulder and I toppled over onto the ground.

"Jade!" Tori yelled, running over to me. "What happened?"

"I don't know." I told her.

"There's a bullet hole in your shoulder." She said. "Here." She stuck her finger into the wound, making me hiss in pain.

"Jesus Christ, Vega." I hissed. "Could you be any more rough?"

"Sorry, Jade." She apologized. She retracted out her finger a second later, and she held out something to me in her hand. A silver bullet

"Well, it looks like I took a bullet for you, Vega." I smirked before hearing another bullet wizz by my ear. "Shit, I think they're trying to snipe you."

"The hunters have sniper rifles?" Tori shrieked.

"Yeah. And they're pretty fucking good sniping monsters with them." I snarled. Tori helped me to my feet as another bullet richochetted towards us, just narrowly flying past Tori's neck.

"We gotta hurry." I stressed to her. We picked up the pace, and soon found outselves out of the woods and back in suburbia.

"This is my house." She announced.

"Yeah I can see that." I quipped. "I've been here countless times." Tori rolled her eyes at me, and nearly dragged me through the open back door leading into her house. She promptly slammed the door shut, and locked it tight.

"Jade you're hurt." She said.

"I know." I told her. "I'll be fine. I have self-healing abilities. They just need a few minutes to kick in."

"Here, let me help." She took hold of my arm, and began to lick my nearly bare shoulder.

"Vega, what are you doing?" I demanded.

"Trina told me that werewolf saliva can heal almost every kind of wound." Tori briefly paused to speak.

"Oh right." Tori continued to lick my shoulder until the bullet wound vanished. A shiver crawled up my spine, and I couldn't help my mind from wandering into dirtier places...

I shook my head to rid myself of the sinful thoughts as Tori pulled away from me.

"Thanks." I told her.

"No problem." She smiled at me, and I felt my heart skip a beat again. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah I was gonna feed, but then you distracted me." I told her.

"Okay. Do you wanna order pizza? Again?"

I shrugged. "Sure. With a side of Ryder's flesh as an appetizer."
